Remarks:  If you do not supply a target object at the command prompt, the target  object is obtained from standard input (stdin). Stdin data can be accepted  from the keyboard, a redirected file, or as piped output from another  command. To mark the end of stdin data from the keyboard or in a redirected  file, use Control+Z, for End of File (EOF).      The dsget commands help you view the properties of a  specific object in the directory: the input to dsget is   an object and the output is a list of properties for that object.  To find all objects that meet a given search criterion,   use the dsquery commands (dsquery /?).    If a value that you supply contains spaces, use quotation marks   around the text (for example, "CN=John Smith,OU=Contacts,DC=microsoft,  DC=com").  If you enter multiple values, the values must be separated by spaces  (for example, a list of distinguished names).
